 Konstantinos.'s recommendation | |
Great viewfinder, robust construction, nice price, many functionalities that could easily classify Dynax 5 to the upper class, metal lens monture, great fast AF.
Features of the Minolta Dynax 5 slr 35mm camera can easily compare to those of upper class cameras, such as F80 or Canon EOS30. In fact, personally, I don't understand why it was not classified in the "midle class" in the first place.
In addition, this body offers unique functionalities ( Minolta is well known for it's technological solutions), like 7 points AF, 14 segment AF metering and ADI flash metering, that hardly can be met in any other body of any other firm, in any other category.
There is "P" mode and 5 programs for "point-and-shoot" operation. It also can be used totally manual. And between these two "extreme" functional modes, there are numerous, easy-to-set settings and customizations, that makes this camera suitable for every kind of user; Amateur, professional, artist, or even ... my mom, who sets the "P" mode and takes pictures of her grandsons (P mode will even pop-up and fire the flash if needed).
I strongly recommend this camera to everyone who wants a VERY GOOD body, with many capabilities and low price.
